Speak Up

I do not care so much for war 
as I do for truth. So I say -
'Lay down your arms and to hell with what 
the rest of them think.'
Either, speak up or hold your tongue,
your choice,
the rest can eat their words.
But, for me, remaining silent 
during times of crisis
is as deadly as any disease.
